Started reading this book called Mein Kampf. I don't know much about the author but I am interested to see what he does next.
The part where he he personally comes comes up with the swastika flag is fun.

Half the book book is just bad 'knock-knock-jokes' and lazy cooking recipes.

I don't know if many people read them any more...

But I'm three quarters through a great novel called 'Contact Zero', by David Wolsencroft. It's about a team of spies, scouring the world, by little clues, searching for this contact zero. A safe haven.

And one of the team has just been cut loose, because he was considered too much of a liability.

I do hope they go back for him.

I've read it once before, but I was quazi-psychotic before, and I can't remember how it ends.

It's like being a vegetarian, we try not to eat meat.

Is anyone else here stuck into a good book?

If so, what's it called, who's the author, and what's it about???
I reread two and a half books today. Blood of elves, time of contempt, and various other chapters within the witcher series :))

I've got the game saved on my xbox1x. But I haven't played much of it.

I've also been listening to some of the game of thrones, on my Amazon Echo dot Alexa. Another great book, or should I say series! ...

I've actually read this book. It's good, even if it is a bit like the Bible, in that it's not one singular narrative. Lot's of good stuff here though!

Very gay and particularly evil.
I thought you were b.s.ing, and them i googled him. And see he has a male partner. So, yep I see he is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with this...

But evil? How can an author be evil, withstanding HItler?

Please explain!...

Horror novelist. Clues are there really, he reduced Stephen King to a blithering idiot on an improv panel.

Wholemeal pasta this time (fusili).

I cut up some small cheese pieces to go with it.

A pinch of salt in the boiling water. And another in the cooked product. Added the cheese, two spoonfuls of curry sauce, and a squeeze of mayonnaise. Then stir and serve.

Sorry I didn't take a picture this time, I wanted to eat it whilst it was still hot? TASTY!

Also, cheese curry and mayo?
Correct. Sorry the urge to eat it was too great.

The poor pasta didn't stand a chance. Now it has found a new home (in my belly)!

Good to have you back Shang. One of the few people on here to actually respond to most of my posts.

Although to be fair to them, they did give it a good shot.

I'll take photos the next I cook it, okay?!

I had a boiled egg yesterday.
Sounds nice Galt. Did you know that if you put the boiled egg, in a mug full of cold water, after cooking... the shell peels off much easier.

I like scrambled egg/omelette myself. But I suppose an eggs an egg?!

Just a tip for the future.. add a lot of salt to the water when boiling the pasta. The water should taste like the ocean.
